The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, has approved the appointment of DSP Oluseyi Babaseyi as the new Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) for the Ogun State Police Command.
DSP Babaseyi takes over from the outgoing PPRO, who has been redeployed to another formation as part of ongoing strategic personnel adjustments within the Nigeria Police Force.
DSP Oluseyi Babaseyi holds an LL.B in Law from the Nigeria Police Academy, Wudil, Kano; a Barrister-at-Law (BL) qualification from the Nigerian Law School, Lagos Campus; and a Diploma in Law from Osun State University. A distinguished member of the 1st Regular Course of the Nigeria Police Academy, his academic and professional background provides a solid foundation in law enforcement operations, investigations, administration, and public relations.
He has served in several operational, investigative, and administrative capacities across divisions and specialised units. He previously served as Divisional Crime Officer at Monatan and Kajorepo Divisions and as Officer-in-Charge of Ilaji and Lagelu Police Posts in Oyo State, where he led criminal investigations, supervised personnel, and coordinated crime prevention strategies. His operational experience was further strengthened by a three-year deployment with the Police Mobile Force (22 PMF) as Unit Commander.
In 2023, he trained at the Nigerian Army School of Special Forces, Buni Yadi, and later led personnel in joint military operations under Operation Hadin Kai across Yobe and Borno States.
He also has strong experience in police administration and strategic communication, having served as Deputy Public Relations Officer of the Lagos State Police Command and as Secretary to the Commissioner of Police, Lagos State, where he was deeply involved in command administration and high-level coordination.
Until his recent appointment as the Police Public Relations Officer, Ogun State Command, he distinguished himself in media relations and information management. DSP Oluseyi Babaseyi is happily married with children and can be reached on 08162382281.
